The “global leader in aerospace, defence and related services” has appointed Astley with the overall responsibility for all government and political contact in the UK. He joins from Balfour Beatty where he was Head of Public Affairs, and has previously spent ten years at BAE Systems.

Tom Page joins Airbus from Interel where he was a Senior Political Consultant within their defence and security practice since the 2010 General Election. Page began his career in Westminster where he worked for a variety of Labour Members of Parliament.

Robert Southwell, President of Airbus Group UK, commented about the appointments: “I am delighted to welcome Simon and Tom to the Airbus Group. We have a significant presence in the UK, with more than 17,000 employees, and we are keen to ensure our stakeholders in Government and Whitehall are aware of the considerable contribution we make to the country. With this in mind, I am sure both Simon and Tom’s extensive experience will be a fantastic asset to the Group.”
